- 50 b. safeguards against the ill-treatment of detained persons 116. Persons detained by military personnel should benefit from the formal safeguards against illtreatment advocated by the CPT in respect of detention by law enforcement agencies (e.g. notification of custody, access to a lawyer, access to a doctor). 117. All of the persons met by the delegation who had previously been detained by military personnel stated that they had not been informed of their rights. Army staff confirmed this state of affairs and indicated that they were not required to inform such persons of any rights, nor facilitate their exercise (cf. also paragraph 50). The CPT recommends that immediate steps be taken to ensure that foreigners who have entered Greece illegally are afforded the rights referred to in paragraphs 40 to 46 during the period that they are detained by military authorities. It should be added that the record kept by the army of detentions made by its personnel should be improved. At the time of the visit, the only record kept consisted of a brief note of the overall number of persons detained and the unit involved. c. conditions of detention 118. The information provided to the CPT indicates that, although immigration detainees are on occasion held in military barracks overnight, those establishments do not have appropriate detention facilities for holding such persons. From the discussions held with both army personnel and detained persons, it transpired that foreign nationals were sometimes held in a mess or canteen overnight, but were not provided with a mattress and blankets. The CPT recommends that sleeping arrangements for immigration detainees held overnight in military establishments be reviewed; in particular, such persons should be provided with a clean mattress and blankets.
